Capricorn Caves

After seeing lots of beaches I decided to do something different for the day I had in Rockhampton.
The Capricorn Caves are 23km north of Rockhampton and were originally formed underwater when coral started building up as limestone on the sea floor. Today the Caves are above sea level and open to the public. 💕
I joined the Cathedral Cave tour at 11am. It really was a perfect timing because the 11am tours in December and January are the only ones where you can witness the summer solstice light spectacle.
The Caves were really interesting and when we came to the Cathedral Cave which is a real cathedral (hence the name) our tour guide turned of the lights and put Hallelujah on to show us the truly magnificent acoustics of the cave. 💕
After that the sun had reached it's place just on top of a small opening in the cave ( summer solstice). The sunbeam that enters the cave is strong enough to light paper on fire and a disco ball under that beam makes the light dance around you on the cave walls. 💕 Czytaj więcej
